Trilha da Borboleta

Description

Trail with open shrub formation of restinga. Those who cross the restinga may not imagine, but very close to the trail, in section 3, numerous families lived: Belo Paixão, Graciolino and Mrs. Malvina, Antônio Soares and Mrs. Clara, among others. There was, in this locality, a flour house with a large "bulandeira," a wheel used to grind cassava, powered by two horses. From there, up to 300 sacks of flour were produced per month! In honor of the former resident, the trail is also called the trail of the late Belo.

Tips

Due to its shrubby formation of restinga, it resembles a maze, so it is important to follow the signage. It is possible to return via the Buraco do Bicho Trail or along the beach; the distance is almost the same.

Route

This trail crosses different formations of restinga: Section 1 (length: 250 meters): here you traverse an area of regenerating vegetation, previously affected by deforestation, soil movement, and forest fires. Section 2 (length: 850 meters): see the open restinga formation to your left (clump formation); cross the restinga forest (further ahead); and pass by the "Córrego de Fora," which drains into a large floodplain to your right. Section 3 (length: 1,840 meters): cross an area of open shrub formation of restinga, characterized by natural clumps of vegetation, with beautiful species of bromeliads, cacti, and orchids. Section 4 (length: 320 meters): final section, in restinga forest. At the end of section 4, return or continue along the "access to Buraco do Bicho" (length: 320 meters).
